Woman Quotes
-
A woman has no control over herself.
Martin Luther

... women learned one important lesson--namely, that it is impossible for the best of men to understand women's feelings or the humiliation of their position.

I was convinced, at the time, that it was the true policy. I am now equally sure that it was a blunder.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

To be born a Southern woman is to be made aware of your distinctiveness. And with it, the rules. The expectations. These vary some, but all follow the same basic template, which is, fundamentally, no matter what the circumstance, Southern women make the effort.

And why you will never see Reese Witherspoon wearing sweatpants. Or Oprah take a nap.
